Jeremiah 4:17-19

Common English Bible

¹⁷ They hem her in like those guarding a field,
    because she has rebelled against me,
        declares the Lord.
¹⁸ Your own conduct, your own deeds have done this to you.
This is your payment and how bitter it is,
    piercing into the depths of your heart.

¹⁹ Oh, my suffering, my suffering!
    My pain is unbearable;
    my heart is in turmoil;
    it throbs nonstop.
I can’t be silent, because I hear the blast of the trumpet
    and the roar of the battle cry!
